Precautions

This medicine should not be used in children under 30 months old. It is also safe to avoid use on dermatitis caused by eczema or poison ivy and on areas with wounds. Those who have had allergic reactions such as rashes, redness, or itching from medicines or cosmetics in the past should take caution when using this medicine. It should be used with care if you or anyone in your family has an allergic constitution. Use caution when the skin is very moist or when there are severe wounds; the same applies to patients currently receiving medical treatment. Special caution is needed as it may induce seizures in young children. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid using this medicine over large areas for extended periods due to the risk of significant absorption of salicylate through the skin, which can cause symptoms of toxicity.

Always follow the prescribed usage and dosage, and when using it on children, it should only be applied under the supervision of an adult. If symptoms do not improve after 5 to 6 days of use, stop using it and consult a professional. This medicine should only be used as a topical application on the skin, and it should not be used in or around the mouth or eyes. Store in a safe place out of reach of children, and it is recommended to keep it away from direct sunlight, in a dry and cool place.
